I have had this watch now for a few days and am happy with it. Main thing I wanted was UK British National Grid (BNG) ref on the watch so I can locate my position on a corresponding OS map, this is great. The watch is a little strange to use and I do not understand a few features yet. I can't belive that the manual does not explain how to get to the position mode... for anyone wanting to know hold down enter for 5 secs in time mode and its in this function menu. I just spotted this before returning the watch thinkng it was not possible!

1) Why does the backlight flash when the compass is selected - is it because I have not calibrated it yet? I think the screen flashed for some other reason once as well but I can't remember what I was doing that time?

2) It seems as though to navigate to a single waypoint you have to select the solid diamond navigation mode then goto route and mypoints, select a point, the go to activity mode and start it, then ho back to navgation mode to find the waypoint now listed. Is this convoluted method correct or have I missed something?!

3) Is there a way of getting the backlight on without changing the screen you were viewing, i.e. there does not seem to be a dedicated backlight button so you have to press a button which has its own function

4) In the light settings there is off, nite and normal - what is the diffrence between off and normal?

	Compass Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more.

the Position info is shown there..

1) the flashing is normal.. I is a battery saving issue...

2)There are several modes for navigation, check the manual as to which is the best one for what you are doing

3)Set the backlight to Nigh mode and you can hit the top left button just to turn the backlight on

4)off turns the backlight completely off, normal means that you have to hold the backlight button for one second before it turns on, night mode you simply touch any button to turn a light on.
